Hi Emma I am having an issue with my toddler waking up at early hours of the morning. She's teething. Can you please advise me

[@DS-tq5gy]

I use a radio as white noise, fortunately there is a frequency between stations that work well for me, if you can't afford one you can try it

[@kia.kikiii]

We use all of these with our two month old and it makes a big difference for sleep time. The white noise is a game changer!

[@Aiii_me6682]

This was helpful as always I never remain blank after watching your videos. Thanks for your time

[@kristinlaffrey]

Love this Emma! White noise was a game changer for us with both of our children! Such valuable information 👏🏻

[@EmmaHubbard]

I love white noise too!

[@ahlammohamed7135]

Hi Emma, can you please make a video about babies sunscreen? Thanks a lot for all the other useful videos ❤️

[@blink_5019]

I bought a white noise machine before my baby was born and found it helped ME sleep so much better! With a husband that snores and a history of insomnia, not sure where I’d be without it! And yes, I’m sure it helps the baby haha.

[@ashleezaccardi4029]

You've got an older video that covers a similar topic, and my daughter has been sleeping wonderfully after following your advice. She's a pretty great sleeper on her own, but doing these things makes her sleep even higher quality! Thanks for these videos!

[@EmmaHubbard]

Glad it was helpful!

[@timesterowo806]

hi i use youtube as a white noise machine sometimes. There are 10 hour white noise videos with no adds cas it's kid's content. course i can't use my phone than but it helps me do out stuff like cleaning.

[@tomkins7382]

Hi Emma! Great content as always. Would you be able to do a video on weaning off of formula and on to cows milk/alternative milk, and then the process of weaning off milk and the bottle? Since my little one turned a year I've really struggled to find content on this next phase and what to expect from his milestones, and how to adapt his feeding schedules/needs.

[@tamaralben8823]

I also would like to know about this

Hi Emma, love all your videos! I tried to sign myself up to receive the ‘New Parents Guide to Naps’ however it never came through - not even to my junk folder..

Hi thank you for your videos, they are so interesting and useful 🎉 One question, I saw some sleep bumpers on amazon that were breathable, lile some kind of a mesh or net.. are they dangerous too? Thanks

[@lauravt89]

Thanks so much for.your videos, the information is great, reliable and extremely valuable! I am a mum to be for the first time, and I was so anxious because there is so much info on the internet.. but your videos are clear, easy to understand and well organised! Now I feel much more calm and at ease, thanks to you! I cannot thank you enough 🎉😊

You are so welcome!❤️

[@beautifullipon7605]

Your videos are so helpful and easy to understand. I didn't use the sleeping bag for my baby..now he's 9 months old, can we start using it now or he doesn't need it anymore? I request you to please suggest..also regarding the blinds to make the room dark, the one you recommend, is it available online?

[@MariaCurry]

I do all that and my baby's sleep has improved immensely. Especially the white noise machine and sleep sack

[@EmmaHubbard]

🎉 That's great to hear!

Hi there Emma May I ask about pillows when is time to use pillow and what kind of it is safety for children.Thanks

Any suggestions on best bassinets and cribs?

[@loycekipawa]

Thanks so much Emma..your video are very educative and helpful.. We may not have such items for sleep improvement and our girl is 5 months now and does not sleep as expected. I think she has this reflux, colic things because she wakes up abruptly crying loudly and within a short time she might fall asleep again. Thanks again and be blessed.

You're so welcome!

[@paulinedantin6680]

Hi! I always find your videos interesting. Here is my question about my one year old daughter : every evening she never wants to sleep and when we go to her bedroom and in her bed she panics and cry without stop for hours. To make her fall asleep we are forced to make a car ride. Do you have any advice or idea why she panics about sleeping. Even the word sleep is making her panic and cry... (sorry if my English is not perfect I am French)

[@cmce878]

To save a bit of money, there’s a white noise setting on iPhones or if you don’t have an iPhone there are white and pink noise loop videos here on KZbin. Once you have a phone, you have a portable white noise machine.

[@EmmaHubbard]

Great idea!

[@ellensymon4268]

Thanks very much

[@EmmaHubbard]

Any time

[@NatStam1845]

Thoroughly enjoy your content! I'm keen to know: when did you start having baby nap/sleep in another room (their room) as opposed to say the basinet in the living room or in mom and dads room at night?

[@EmmaHubbard]

Thanks so much! The AAP recommend you room share with your bub until at least 6 months of age to reduce the risk of SIDS. I hope that helps!

[@angela3kds]

I avoided blackout curtains with my first two and tried to keep the environment as natural as I could. My kids sleep great! I definitely used a lot of these other tips. Sound machine, waiting til you're sure they're awake, etc. but this time I'm worried because my husband works from home in our bedroom and the other two rooms belong to my older two kids (8 and 5). The baby will be in my room, and is due now (May 12) so my kids will be underfoot all summer instead of at school during the day. I might have to make space in the older kid's room for a daytime basinet to nap the baby away from my working husband.

[@minekal.h2536]

Never new that about sleeping bags. Which sleeping bags do you recommend?

[@merinkunjumon3896]

Hello, your videos are so helpful. My son is 1.5 years old he is not able to get good sleep at night. He doesn't get a continuous sleep. He wakes up & needs to be carried in arms. Then he feeds and again needs to be carried. He keeps on tossing at night. Mostly he has less sleep, however somedays he sleeps. We are not able to understand the reason and what changes should be done.

[@EmmaHubbard]

Hi Merin, it's so nice to hear that you are finding these videos helpful. Sounds like sleep is tricky for your little one. Without knowing all the details it's hard to say why your little one is waking frequently. You might find this video helpful, as I cover the most common reasons why little one's have disrupted sleep and what you can do it help them sleep continuously. Hopefully it is helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6vXg5iMo8uIaMk

[@altynaiyessenzhan7995]

Thank you Emma for your amazing and informative videos. Please, make a video about SIGNS of a baby being ready to DROP A NAP. My 1 year old can stay awake longer - up to 4-4:30 h, but always during all awake time keeps yawning 🥱 and rubbing, sometimes hitting his ears.

[@EmmaHubbard]

I've already got you covered! 🙂: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6nEf2utmrqrrtU I hope that helps!

[@emppun9238]

We have now almost 9 week old baby and we have a lot ups and downs with sleeping. Now she does not want to sleep in her bed during the days. Only places that she will sleep more than 30 min is in my lap or in pram. If I try to put her in the bed she will wake up after 30 min. I have White noice on, we have darker room, I try to calm activity before going to bed, I have fed her and changed diaper. I also try to keep every day as same = same sleeping times, but under 3 moths old is in impossible because they will sleep when they sleep. I don't swaddle her because when I tried it she just cried and cried. I have solved this with kind of "swaddle" (we have a sleeping nest and I stretch a planket top of it so it will little bit restrict movement of the arms and legs but she cannot get tangled on it). Also here in Finland we put babies outside to sleep in pram even in winter. Outside she might sleep even 4 hours but not even every day. And it require that I will walk with pram at least one hour. And half of the time she will wake up when pram stops. (I tried to solve this with pram rocker but that will not always help). Do you have nice tips how I could get her sleep in her bed instead on my lap? I get quite tired of it. And also it usually tooks quite long for her to calm down and starting to sleep. Usually 30 min but sometimes even 1,5 hours. And that "try to get her to sleep" - time she usually cries a lot even though I try to spot tiredness signals as best as I can. She is awake about 45 to 1 h 15 min a time. During that time I try to spend time with her and "play" with her. But when I try to put her to sleep she usually starts crying and when the waking time goes longer and longer she is more and more tired and it is harder and harder to get her to sleep. And yep. We have stomach issues that I have tried to solve (and I know it is one problem). I am just so tired when every day you try and try and after 1,5 hours of trying she will sleep like 15 minutes and wake up. It is very exhausting when you don't have time to sleep, you cannot do any tasks in the house. Sometimes you don't have even time to eat. And you cannot almost move a muscle when she is sleeping in your lap... And sorry my writing, English is not my mother language so I bet there is lot of mistakes.

[@fathimafarahna2633]

How are you doing now? I guess your baby is over a year now.. I hope sleep is much sorted

[@gtnjlwrsn3698]

Thanks for the video! If you don't mind I have several questions. Is it the same to use white noise android apps or youtube videos? Because I used it and didn't seem to work. How loud it has to be to take an effect? And does continuous noise like that will affect the baby's brain?

[@GoogleAccount-qp5oq]

Just turn on your summer fan in opposite direction and that will do the trick.

[@adelinec1026]

Is the blackout curtain needed during the day? :)

[@Almondamande]

Thanks again. Life saving information. I've got one question: i am using a pink noise Machine with red pulsing light together with noise sound for my 8 months old baby.. It's not dark in the room, as you mentioned as something essential and light up some objects in the room. Shall i switch the pink light of?. Thank you so so much 🥰

[@EmmaHubbard]

Hi Amanda, so glad to hear this video was helpful. In regards to your question about light, if your little one is sleeping well then there is no need to turn the light off (as technically pink light has limited impact on one's circadian rhythm). But if your little one isn't sleeping well then it might be worth turning off the light and seeing if the darkness improves your little one's sleep.

[@drbhawanak5436]

Hello Emma,we follow ur each video,need ur help urgently,my 2 yr old daughter have started slaping me,(she have seen her coursin sis doing this)how should I react? Kindly guide. Thanku Regards.

[@MsLauroraBorealis]

Hey Emma, thanks for the great tips. I was wondering, how long (what age) does the white noise machine "work"?

[@EmmaHubbard]

Hi! We use them from birth and even still to this day with our 5 year old

[@Lachlansmummy]

I sleep with deep smoothed brown noise as a 39 year old. It helps drown out noise and calms/washes my brain helping me sleep best ❤️

[@the1chalhoub]

Hello, just wondering is Brown noise alright?

[@arjooshaikh]

Hello mam First of all thank u so much for videos..they are helping a lot. My son is 19 weeks old. And he is not rolling over yet. Should i worry about it or is this normal. I am so confused. Please suggest

[@EmmaHubbard]

Hi! Rolling over is a skill bubs can learn anywhere from 4 -7months. So I would try not to worry as your little one still has plenty of time to learn this skill. What you can do now is help them roll from their back to tummy and tummy to back rather than putting them straight into this position. This will help them become familiar with the sensation of rolling and help them learn the motor pattern.

[@arjooshaikh]

Okay thank u so much mam.

[@masoomamehdi1224]

Hi lovely Emma, my boy is going to 1 year old in 10 days. His sleep quality and quantity is the worst. I've been to all the doctors I knew and they all say it's a phase and he'll grow out of it. But when??? I don't think they know what is wrong with my boy they can't find his problem Can you please give me a hint or solve this problem ?? He keeps waking up like 20 times a day and doesn't really want to sleep during the day. I'm really really worried about his sleep and I'm just thinking that he might actually have a serious health issue that doesn't let him sleep or stay asleep. Would appreciate if you get back to me🙂

[@littlesnuggles]

This sound will make you and your little babies relax and fall asleep within minutes at nap time or at night. Tried and tested for years to aid anxious sleepers. Give it a try !

[@aprilupfold6424]

Do you have any updated information on swaddling? I've heard that it's no longer recommended for newborns

[@dimitarbushkalov2380]

I would be interested to know that too. AAP advises against it.

[@beepatcharaporn8384]

My 7mo baby can fall asleep but wake up many times during night and wake up super early though the room is dark. I have white noise machine but did not really use it. I will try the machine again but how long I have to keep the machine on? Do we have to leave it on until in the morning? Do I have to put the machine at least 2m away from the baby?

[@MPaez-lq5ig]

I bought 3 of those exact blackout blinds and the suction cups are so poor, I can never get a good seal on them so they fall 😢

[@EmmaHubbard]

I find that I need to add some water/or wipe the suction caps with a damp towel and then they stick well. If that doesn't work then sometimes cleaning the glass makes it stick a lot better. I hope that helps!

[@Sandra6797]

How do you provide that noiseless and dark environment when the baby is sleeping in the same room as the parents? We would have to shower and get ready for bed after putting the baby to sleep, which would mean noise and light.

[@Idknanmolla1]

Just ask Alexa to play “white noise “ or “brown noise”. Invest in an echo for light classical music, white noise, playtime music , important feeding alarms/reminders, as well as using it to dim a light bulb (if it’s on the network). Alexa has been so helpful when my hands aren’t free or when I want to avoid need to going into the room ( using app).

[@EmmaHubbard]

Thanks for sharing this recommendation!

[@vixen8345]

Just a heads up for those who utilise Alexa; there are several privacy concerns you may like to learn about before using it or are already using one. Please do your research to decide if these privacy risks are acceptable to you or not, and if there is anything you can do to increase your security while using it. 👍

I really need your advice .. My son is 4 months , he has reflux and this affecting his sleep, he wake up every 1 to 2 hours during night . He is now on thick formula and infant gaviscon. I tried to raise the bed end by 20-30 digress , am not sure about prone position.. I need your help 😢 He sleeps in good environment, I follow your advice since I give birth.

[@andrerik2145]

Hi... I think your son has a sleep regression😢 it's very difficult times for 4 and 6 months old

[@ProtonBobby]

I would not recommend prone position since it is important to keep the baby on his back to reduce the risk of sids

[@EmmaHubbard]

Hi! It is not recommended you place a baby on their tummy for sleep due to the risk of SIDS. In this video I cover the different sleep positions and why back sleeping is recommended. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqTcnWdvaZiShbM If it is the reflux waking your little one then the best person to talk to would be your little one's doctor. It sounds like you are on the right track with using thicken formula and medicine. It could also be the 4 month sleep regression which is causing your little one to wake every 1 - 2 hours at night or other things. In this video I cover the common causes for sleep disruptions and what you can do to help which you might find helpful. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6vXg5iMo8uIaMk
